For hospitals and surgery centers · FirstCase Academy by SurgSoul

Onboard new surgical techs on your own cases.

New graduates and travelers arrive knowing instruments in general, not your surgeons’ setups. Put your preference cards in one place, give each new hire a structured first eight weeks, and see who is ready for which room.

Talk to us about onboarding Try the educator demo

No sign-up: the demo is a fictional program with its learners, progress and clinical reviews.

What a new hire’s first eight weeks look like

Your surgeons’ preference cards, kept current by the techs who scrub them
Competency checklists and a preceptor guide for an eight-week orientation
Case logs, shift sign-offs and evaluations signed on the floor
One board for every new hire’s progress, by cohort or unit

Study tools for every new hire

Each new hire also gets Academy’s study app: instrument flashcards, generic starter case cards, judgment scenarios and practice questions, on a phone and offline. Personal notes stay private; educators see progress, never someone’s notebook.

How hospitals buy it

Hospitals use the School / Program plan, sized by the number of new hires, or start with the eight-week paid pilot. See program pricing.

Recorded practice and sign-offs are training records for your educators to review. They do not establish competence or replace your facility’s own competency validation. FirstCase Academy is independent of AST, ARC/STSA and NBSTSA.
